When does life start?

This comes up a lot in abortion debates.
Pro-abortionists say it doesn't begin til actual birth.
Anti-abortionists say it starts when the sperm meets the egg.

They are both wrong. Life does not begin until the kids are grown and moved out of the house.

when the man buys the woman a drink at the bar

I say when brainwaves start.

Science has proven life begins at conception, they have recorded a flash of light at fertilization.

I say when the heart starts to beat.

A fetus is alive. However, I wouldn't call a fetus human or any different from a clump of cells until birth of consciousness and awareness which is between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy. Most abortions at that stage are illegal already . This is an interesting philosophical debate, though.

I thought this was going to be a more philosophical question and we could choose 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 etc etc all the way up to 121-130. What a shame.

No one here has a life.

Life begins in both the testes and the ovaries. Any man that ever ejaculates anywhere except inside an ovulating woman and any woman that ever passes an unfertalized egg (has her period) are sinners and will suffer eternal damnation!

Life = Conception
Awareness = Birth

Two totally different things

The choice was not there so I'll explain. I think life starts when there is a reasonable chance if the fetus was C-sectioned it would survive or a very premature birth. Before that it has the potential but is not life.

At about 2 or 3. Qlso could say 18 caude you are pretty much a prisoner till that age

Since nobody knows, and since nobody can know, let's arbitrarily say it starts at about 6 weeks when the kid's heart begins to beat.
